"If such conditions could be created In Norway that would permit me and the Government to return to continue our work In liberty, We would Immediately do KO, The

Abvious condillen for such a step would be that all foreign military forces leave the country."

Nazi Plat

M. Kont, the Norwegian Foreign Minister, told "Reuter" that there is no doubt whatever that the whole attempt to unscat him was dictated by, the Nazis.

"On June, 14, all Norwegian papers were compelled to print editorials suggesting that the King and Gov- ernment lind abandoned Norway to her fate, and therefore a new govern- ment should be formed to take over legislative powers and legalise the German occupation.

"Since then the Presidential Board of the Storting has met and it is this body which has asked the King and the Government to stop

down. Normally, this body has six members, but only four remained in occupied territory.

"The Conservative Party appointed fifth member quite illegally and thus it is that five names were found to ask the King to abdiente,

Quisling Dropped

"Since the invaders were obliged to drop Quisling after he had been in power only three days, they have been trying to find some other puppet regime that would give a semblarice of legality to their occupation and rule the country according to Ger man desires.

"But they will find it extremely dificult to depose the King and Government. The Constitution says that in time of war, the sovereign may be absent from the country indefinitely if need be without losing his constitutional powers. The King has been absent only one month D far, and there is absolutely no con- stitutional ground for removing him in these circumstances."

Treaty With Soviet

Would Strengthen Position OF United States

Washington, July 6. The defence of the United States in the Far East could be strengthened by negotiations between America ond Russia, leading to on agreement pledging both to maintain China's ir dependence and the status quo of south-castern Asia, declares a report by the Fereign Polity Association.

Unless an agreement of this nature can be reached there is every in- dication that the Soviet, while con tinuing to td China will assume a non-committal altitude toward Japanese excursion to the South Seas,

agreement or even the gift of China, would satisfy Japan

"It remains to be seen whether firm measures would restrain Japan or provoke retaliatory Action," it declares. "Effective American

op- position to further Japanese aggres- sion, unless close Soviet-American co-operation could be achieved, is probably limited to the period in which the the American fleet could be kept in the Paelfic."-United Press.
